SOP

How are you readers? Hope everything is fine. Good luck for the final examination for February 2011 session. I would like to share what is SOP today. SOP stands for standard operating procedures. SOPs are detailed written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a specific function.


Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) help maximum safety and operational efficiency for these kind of organisations:
- Pharmaceutical organizations
- Government organizations
- Emergency response operations
- Clinical research organizations
- Power producing organizations

A standard operating procedure (SOP) is a set of step by step written instruction on how to do the certain task. All important tasks performed in a compounding pharmacy should be covered by SOPs and documentation. SOPs can act as effective catalysts to drive performance-improvement and improve organizational results.
SOPs should be developed for:
 facility maintenance
 equipment calibration and maintenance
 personnel training and validation
 and the preparation, packaging and storage of compounded items
SOPs should also include sign-off or log sheets to document that the SOPs have been followed.
PURPOSE
SOPs can assure that:
 Supplies and chemicals are received, inventoried, compliant with compounding standards, stored properly and disposed off correctly
 The equipment is properly maintained and calibrated
 All procedures and tasks are performed consistently and documented

A well-written SOP can be used to satisfy compliance requirements. SOPs are recommended for all procedures that pose a potential risk to the health and safety of personnel.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) lets you operationalize documents such as plans, regulation, compliance, and policies. SOPs distil requirements contained in these documents into a format that can be used by staff members in their work environment.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) should be tranfered without every modification to insure the expected results. Every modification or divergence of a given standard, the Procedure should being served, while an investigation and results of the investigation documented according to the internal divergence procedure. All high-class processes and procedures should be put on in a Standard Operating Procedure.

This Standard Operating Procedure should be the base for the everyday training programme of every employee. The Standard Operating Procedure should be often updated to insure of obedience to the realisation conditions and the working practise.

A minimum review list of 3 years is recommended. Changes of the Standard Operating Procedure are activated generally by the process or the procedure changes or the adaptations. These changes should be led by the internal site controlling procedure. A part of the activity list of such changes should be to update the coherent standard operating procedure. Standard operating procedure should be in the place for all high-class systems plus the specific operational activities on the side.

The structure of a the Procedure System and the sum of all SOPs should be considered carefully. Too many standard operating procedure could lead to a breakdown of the SOP Sstem.



there is a documentary film which shared the same title

SOP plays a vital role in our life. Imagine what is the life going to be without them. Hope you will get knowledge from this article.

An interesting presentation basically on CCM Duopharma was given to the students about the generic products production at our country. They even launching for refilling human vaccines five years later and the first south east Asia who got this contract signed. Q and A session was interesting because the students were curious about the job opportunites in pharmaceutical industries.

According to Mr. Satish which was the person in-charge for water treatment system, the water plays vital roles for providing the desired quality of pharmaceutical products. The water treatment were using reverse osmosis (RO) system. After that, we are brought to the production department while can observed the making of pharmaceutical products such as tablets in a sterilized conditions with HEPA filters at box.


Then, we proceed to the warehouse department and we got to know how the pharmaceutical products being stored and its precautions.
